WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry discussed various topics with Isiah Madrigal, including the reason behind the creation of the silver ECW Championship.
Henry said, “They wanted to find a title that fit me, because if you look at those pictures, that ECW title was very small.”
He continued, “It was like one of the old-school type belts, and they wanted me to have a belt that was befitting of a giant. So they designed this. I mean, that belt was huge, and it was probably about 10 to 12 pounds.”
Henry added, “It was very heavy and I had to go buy a new bag for a carry-on because it wouldn’t fit in my old luggage.”
